Mathematics

This semester, students will be solving problems relating to measurement. They will use the S.T.A.R. acronym to remind them of the steps to take when solving a problem. The students will continue to develop their understanding of place value and learn about larger whole numbers.

They will continue to learn and be encouraged to use efficient strategies when making calculations. These are called the Secret Code Strategies. Doubling, halving and chunking are three of the strategies that students in Year 3 and 4 need to understand and use proficiently.

Mathematical investigative tasks will be planned around our class focus, allowing students to demonstrate application of mathematical knowledge and strategies.
